A fan supporting Northern Ireland at Euro 2016 has died in an accident at a beach in Nice.

Reports in France suggested the man, who is believed to be in his 20s, had passed away in the early hours of Monday, hours after Northern Ireland lost 1-0 to Poland in their first game of the tournament.

And superintendent Nigel Doddard – who is leading the Police Service of Northern Ireland's (PSNI) operations in France – said his French counterparts had confirmed the news.
